BERLIN, Dec. 24.-If war early in the
spring is sverted official anticipation will
be deceived and military expectation dis
appointed. Within the past few days it
has become q settled conviction of
the diplomatic circle that the Cars
psc e; tendencies have been over
torne by the Panslavist faction, and
that he is now under the control Of the
war party, the leaders of which are likely
TO precipitate war by some act Of provo
cation committed without the CZRr's full
consent. The return of General Won
SchuelinitZ, G 9rmsn Ambassador, to S..
Petersburg, was hoped TO be eigGaiizad
by decisive turn of the
tide peaceward The conference between
General Won Schuelini'z and N DeGiers
Russian Prime Minister, on Thursday
last had contrary result. Whatever
passed during the interview has deepened
the distrust in Berlin and increased the
Irritation of the Austrian Government to-
ward the Cars ministers.
II. De Glers appears to have abandoned
his policy of peace pressure upon the
Car, and to have thrown his irfiaence on
the side OF the military p.rty. He is
reported IS telling General Won Scewer-
intz that the Gar is Gesirous of peace,
but is unable to tolerate longer
AUSTRIAN DUPLICITY
in thwsrtipg r sia'S endeavors to OBJ
tain the just fruits of her sscr fees n the
Balkan campaign. Apart from what
trapspired at the interview with General
Won Schweipitz, ri DeGiers hiss CON-
planned openly at diplomatic reunions in
St. Petersburg Of Count K4lnoky's Ian.
gusge in reference to Russia, declsring
it to be uubearsble, snd that it Justified
every measure Russia might take to rein
force her troops on the frontier.
An ominous ind cation OF the extreme
tension Of the situstion is the bellicose
tone of the st. Petersburg papers towards
Aastria. There is no further pretense Of
coGceelment as to what ere Rdssia's
aims. Bulgaria, the papers say. must De
deprived Of any shadow of suton nv and
Oscome Russian province, Will Austria
must be forced 10 evEcuate Bosnia and
ReIzegovina. 1t is 6 notable feature Of
the articles in the Novoe Vremya, Novos-
to, snd other Z )ssiau papers, that war
with Austria would not necessarily in.
volve Germany An inspired article in
GrsshooDin states hist the Russi ~ COY
eminent has obtained knowledge thst
the terms of the treaty of alliance leave
Germany free not to interfere unless Aus
tria is thrt atened with collapse, which
would involve terri Ori.l losses. This is
contrary TO the official press Of Vienna
snd Pesth which treats the wsr
question as a common matter between
Austria and Germany. The Berlin ofllc&l
view concurs with that of the AxstrIsn
ha IL of -,
between the War Department distinctly
points to coucyrted
PLANS oF MILITARY ACTION
In the event Of war.
Since bis conference with IL. DeGiers,
General Won Sch1einitz has been re-
ceived by the Car, who inside the re-
ception q Formally, avoiding CONVEX
sation.
The report that Count Won
Walkensteip, Austrian Ambassador |
at st. Petersburg, has received
8 ssurauces from n. DeGiers
that the movement Of troops has CEASED |
is semi-oE cislly denied from Vienna to-
night. The Russian government has not |
TO make any statement either to |
the German or the Austrian ambassadors |
regarding the position on she frontier. |
r -assuripg reports would be useless in |
The face of the facts. During the pas, |
